How green is your apartment house or building?

Green Apartment Network has developed a new "Greener Apartment Identifier" to take a first run at answering the questions, "What is a sustainable apartment building?" and "How green does it have to be?"

It is essentially a checklist, asking simple questions in these areas about a given property:

1.Energy actions (taken for specific property)
2.Water actions
3.Waste management actions
4.Transportation actions
5.Improvements and renovation actions
6.Community, education and outreach actions
7.Governance actions

We're looking for 20 apartment houses or apartment buildings to "beta test" Greener Apartment Identifier with.  The benefit to you as property owner is to have a framework for improving your property, and to get a quick snapshot of how green your property is.

You will also be forwarding the purpose of Green Apartment Network.  Some of the greenest buildings will be profiled on this website.

Email us or call Seth Nowak at 608-354-1329 if you are interested in, or considering trying out Greener Apartment Identifier on one of your buildings.
